The terminal monitors second control information for the UE on the USS based on a second aggregation level.

Abstract: Intelligent hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback can better support link adaption. Thus, in addition to the traditional HARQ feedback, which is to relay acknowledgement (ACK) and negative acknowledgement (NAK) data based on a decoding result, a new state for the HARQ feedback can be represented as “ACK+”. Consequently, ACK+ can be used to indicate to the network that a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) of a current data packet is too conservative, and the user equipment (UE) is capable of supporting a more aggressive MCS.

Abstract: Described are examples for providing a distributed fault-tolerant state store for a virtualized base station. In an aspect, a first server at a datacenter may perform physical layer processing for at least one virtualized base station. While performing the physical layer processing, the first server may generate inter-slot physical layer state data during a first slot. The inter-slot physical layer state data is to be used in a subsequent slot. The first server may periodically transmit the inter-slot physical layer state data to one or more other servers of the plurality of servers within the datacenter. One of the other servers may take over the physical layer processing for the at least one virtualized base station based on the inter-slot physical layer state data, for example, in response to a fault at the first server or a migration of the at least one virtualized base station.

TTI duration per set of subcarriers is contemplated. One or more timing rules to deal with different processing time(s) are contemplated.

Abstract: Provided is a transmitter which improves the flexibility of SRS resource allocation without increasing the amount of signaling for notifying the cyclic shift amount. In the transmitter, with regard to each basic shift amount candidate group having a basic shift amount from 0 to N?1, a transmission control unit (206) specifies the actual shift amount imparted to a cyclic shift sequence used in scrambling a reference signal transmitted from each antenna port, said specification being performed based on a table in which cyclic shift amount candidates correspond to each antenna port, and based on setting information transmitted from a base station (100). With regard to basic shift amount candidates for shift amount X, the table differentiates between an offset pattern comprising offset values for cyclic shift amount candidates corresponding to each antenna port and an offset pattern corresponding to basic shift amount candidates of X+N/2.

Abstract: According to one configuration, a wireless network is shared amongst a hierarchal tier of users. The wireless network environment includes one or more allocation management resources (such as so-called spectrum access systems). Each of one or more wireless network service providers operating respective wireless equipment such as one or more wireless base stations relies on a respective allocation management resource to allocate wireless channels for use. If desired, a respective wireless network service provider operating respective equipment can select an appropriate channel notification mode suitable to provide notification of incumbent use and/or reassignment of wireless bandwidth to the wireless base stations. In such an instance, in the event of re-assignment due to incumbent use, the allocation management resources communicate amongst each other regarding the incumbent use/reassignment and provide protected use of newly assigned wireless bandwidth to the first wireless network service provider.
